Genius perpetuated through time

BLUE CRUISER Stripped of its dial and hands, the Blue Cruiser is designed so that the movement revolves on itself.

The rotating lower bridge indicates the hours, while the upper bridge, in the form of a skeletonized ship’s anchor shows the minutes. This avant-garde vessel measures a respectable 45 mm in diameter, in 18 ct white or rose gold.

The 41 mm platinum case and the bezel are decorated with 152 diamonds. Limited edition of 99 pieces.

Ulysse Nardin returns as the 2014 Monaco Yacht Show official sponsor.

Ulysse Nardin was created in 1846 in Le Locle, Switzerland and inscribed his name in the annals of the nascent merchant navy. His marine chronometers, world-renowned measuring instruments, were used on many ships. The watchmaking powerhouse has continually proved that challenges present vast opportunities worthy of exploration. It is these ­ explorations that have resulted in Ulysse Nardin’s unprecedented inventions in horology.

Ulysse Nardin has received the greatest number of patents in mechanical watchmaking.

Awarded for InnoVision, a spectacular watch concept that r­ epresented the groundbreaking use of silicium, this creation gives a nod to Ulysse ­Nardin’s Freak, which was the first timepiece to use silicon for its escapement with two impulse wheels.

ROYAL RUBY TOURBILLON With bridges and main plates crafted in ruby and sapphire, a handcrafted masterpiece lightweight in appearance while refined in jewels, the flange of the Royal Ruby is set with 12 rubies distinguishing the hours, accompanied by 48 diamonds.

The 41 mm platinum case and the bezel are decorated with 152 diamonds. Limited edition of 99 pieces.

Other landmark achievements by Ulysse Nardin include Oechslin’s completion of the Trilogy of Time, featuring the Astrolabium, the Planetarium and the Tellurium.

And, Oechslin returned to the cosmos for inspiration and revealed the Moonstruck, which concentrates on the moon and its effects on the earth.

The pioneering spirit of Ulysse Nardin and its quest for innovation and independence in the manufacture of own movements allow to set new milestones in the history of watchmaking. The company is proud to have revealed six in-house calibers in the past twelve months.

Ulysse Nardin surpasses form and function and strives for excellence in inventiveness and guides with passion its ingenious mind and momentum.

Tell me the name of your yacht, I’ll tell you who you are

By Nick Jeffery “I name this yacht, A”. The name matches the clean minimal Starck look but does not seem to be setting a trend amongst superyacht owners. It would have been unheard of at a launch ceremony a century ago. Naming a yacht should not be taken lightly – along with her ­e xterior profile, it is an opportunity to display a unique identity, hinting at the owner’s values in life.

CHRISTENING AND SUPERSTITIONS Old superstitions for sailors include not having a name ending in the letter A (sorry Aleksandra!).

It is also important that the Champagne bottle (in the past whisky or cider would do, even grape ­juice ­during the Prohibition) breaks when it hits the bow – they are surprisingly strong (bottles) and the glass is ­often sawn-down by the shipyard before the christening to be sure of a dousing at first swing.

M/Y IMAGINE by Amels (65 m, 2011) The Egyptians are believed to have been the pioneers of naming their boats and – along with ancient Greeks and Romans – had elaborate ceremonies involving prayer, sacrifice and christening with fluid, sometimes simply water poured over the vessel.

“Now, what a ship was christened, so let her stay, I says”, cried Long John Silver in Treasure Island in 1883. Renaming is said to be inauspicious – nevertheless is commonplace in the world of superyachts: The 90-metre “Air” was simply transformed to “Ice”. ­Adnan Khashogi’s 86-metre “Nabila” (his ­daughter’s name), built in 1980, was briefly owned by the Sultan of Brunei before becoming Donald Trump’s ­“T­rump Princess”. Now she is named “Kingdom 5KR”, reputedly after a company name, lucky number and initials of her Saudi Prince owner’s d ­ aughter and wife. The provocatively named 55-metre “Tits” – drawn in the 1990s by Andrew Winch ­Designs for Prince Jefry of Brunei – is another whose ­superstructure and transom were touched up with more than a lick of paint after her name changes (“Claire”, ”Dream” and now “Samax”).

It is said that the old name is supposed to be written on paper, put in a box, burnt and the ashes thrown

into the sea on an outgoing tide (even better burn the actual nameboard). Whisper the new name so as not to alert demons and promise the gods and goddesses that you will not sin again. Never ­perform the ritual on a Friday. Although some names are masculine, yachts themselves are always considered feminine – no sex changes have been recorded.

FAMILY AND PERSONAL TRIBUTE The charter yacht “Andreas L” (ex “Amnesia”) is ­named in fond memory of the late Andreas ­Liveras, a serial yacht owner who named his yachts after his grandchildren and family members (“Lina”, “Lauren L”, “Alysia”, “Annaliesse”, “Princess Lauren”, “Princess Tanya”, “Princess Natasha”, “Princess Krita”, “Princess Sophia”…). Liveras kept the names of “Albacora of Tortola”, “Altair” and “Rosenkavalier” as they were so renowned and intrinsic to the yacht. A combination of the first letters of children’s names is popular.

The 1933 “Velsheda”, designed by Charles Nicholson for businessman William Lawrence Stephenson, was named after Velma, Sheila and Daphne. Dickie Bannenberg recalls that “Stefaren” (now “Maridome”), built at Brooke Marine in 1989, was her owner’s daughters’ names Stefanie and Karen smashed together. The recent “Elandess” was a Bannenberg & Rowell design whose name comes from the phonetic initials of the two owners’ names, L and S. Many of the largest superyachts built, owned by Arabs, can also be included in the family tribute “category”. Of the largest 10 superyachts, “Azzam”, “Dubai”, “Al Said”, “Prince Abdulaziz”, “El Horriya”, “Yas”, “Al Salamah” are connected with people, culture or places. Numerous yachts have the prefix

S/Y KOKOMO, the 58.4-m fast cruising sloop by Alloy Yachts (2010)

Lady or Princess and there are a few Queens too.

“Lady Moura” is the largest at 105 metres. A ­Russian Madame recently joined the hierarchy, ranking ­number 30 with the 99-metre “Madame Gu”. What “Christina O”, “Delphine” or “Talitha” would think, one can only imagine.

OBSESSIONS AND LEGENDS Some owners have a hobby, business or “Obsession” (a boat name itself) and their yachts project this.

Larry Ellison has a penchant for all things Japanese for example – so “Sayonara”, “Katana” (ex “Eco”, now “Enigma”), “Rising Sun” and “Musashi” are easily identified with him, while his America’s Cup yacht “Oracle Team USA” is more commercial. “Solemates” is the name of a former CEO of Reebok’s boat. The 60-metre “Kaiser” was so named as the owner (who was not German) admired German style, Dickie Bannenberg confides. “Skat” (her owner is Charles Simonyi, the man said to have created Excel) incidentally is a Danish term of endearment, meaning Treasure, not a scientific reference. The powerful Alloy sloop “Kokomo” is named after the Beach Boys song (Get there fast then take it slow) and the Amels

“Imagine” the John Lennon classic. Bond names such as “Octopussy”, “Never Say Never” and “Golden Eye” reflect the personality of another ­serial owner entrepreneur, John Staluppi – “The World is Not Enough”.

Legendary names grow with time, as the legend is forged. For those who hanker after yachts and names of the early 20th Century – such as “­Lulworth” (after Lulworth Castle), “Nahlin” (native American ‘fleet of foot’), “Savarona”, “Virginia”, “Warrior” or “Westward” – one only needs to turn to G.L. ­Watson & Co. who maintains the world’s largest privately held archive of classic yacht designs. Partner Antony Harrison says, “The catalogue includes some of the most powerful and famous names in ­yachting history. Amongst these are legends such as ‘Rainbow’, ‘Thistle’, ‘Bona’, ‘Sybarita’ and the ‘Valkyries’ (beautiful maidens riding battlefields to claim dead heroes)”.

Dr, William Collier adds: “With all key drawings available it is quite possible that these ­fabulous names may be reborn as replicas”.

FUN IN THE PUN – COME IN NUMBER 9 One only has to walk around Monaco’s two ports to taste the sense of humour that some owners

M/Y IMAGINE by Amels (65 m, 2011)

­ roject onto the quay. “Seize the Day”, “Nick of p Time”, ­“Nameless”. A naming tip is to be careful it’s not been done before – “Aquaholic” has been in the top 10 popular boat names registered in the USA for a decade and “Serenity” the top five. Also, consider how the name will sound repeated on the VHF and whether people might twist it to tease you if poor reception (“Senility”)!

As well as country or flag registration numbers, numbers can be prominently used as styling ­ ­graphics such as “Skat’s” warship-like ‘9906’ on her grey hull (in fact just a design project number) and “Aurelia’s” 10 (Gulf Racing Team colours with the 10 referring to being the tenth boat built in its class).

One superyacht that kept her shipyard build number as her actual name is “Triple Seven” from Nobiskrug.

“The One” (ex “Carinthia VI”) was c ­ ertainly not the first yacht from Lürssen – she was a near-identical to “Carinthia V”, the previous one, which sunk after hitting an uncharted rock on her maiden cruise in the Mediterranean. CMN’s “Cloud 9” is still floating!

BRANDING Specialist companies make yacht names with backlighting and three-dimensional sculptured ­logos – holograms have yet to take off. “Phoenix 2” exhibits a silver figurehead, “Quattroelle” (Four L’s in Italian, for Love, Life, Liberty, Luxury) sports a distinctive logo made of four L-shapes. Superyachts usually display the name on the superstructure sides as well as transom and sometimes the bow.

The builder’s name, like a car marque, is u ­ sually positioned quite prominently too but in much ­ smaller font. The logo and name – or first letter of

12 MYS SUMMER MAGAZINE

it – may be found throughout the boat, from crew uniforms to slippers and beach towels, crockery, crystal and caps. Branding has become integral in today’s superyacht. In the future the tradition of names may be picked up on in sister industries for cars and private jets.

Whatever ‘category’, a yacht’s name – combined with the design – probably speaks more about an owner than the words of the lady he chooses to say: “May God bless her and all who sail in her.”

They that go down to the sea in superyachts The book of Psalms says, “They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great ­waters; these see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.” A superyacht only makes it better. By Br ansom Bean.

Captain Nick Przybylski

NOT JUST A JOB Whether it becomes a life’s career or just a couple of extraordinary years before settling into a ­conventional job ashore, being a crewmember on a super­ yacht can be a ticket to special people, places and experiences that few others ever see – particularly when they are lucky enough to join ­ a yacht with a Captain who dares venture off the beaten paths between St Tropez and Portofino.

And he also loved machines. So leaving school rather earlier than perhaps his parents had hoped, he began an Engineer Apprenticeship at English Electric in the UK.

Captain Nick Przybylski is one of those people who has not only seen the best that yachting has to o ­ ffer but as Captain has introduced his crews and Owners to those uniquely superyacht experiences.

After five years though, a call of the sea took him to the magical Galapagos Islands to join a 136 foot ­Baltic schooner, Golden Cashelot, as her Engineer.

This job would last though only until he helped ­rescue another Baltic schooner, Sofia, from the beach and joined her crew. His motivation was not purely nautical. “I was young and she was a floating hippie commune with nubile young ladies; there was a compelling reason to jump ship.”

SAILING, ENGINES AND SOME VERY PRETTY GIRLS Nick by his own admission wasn’t a great academic in his youth but he was a very keen Sailor, racing Flying Dutchman and Laser dinghies in his native South Africa.

His formal career in “mainstream yachting”, as he calls it, began later in the UK working for the “wonder­fully eccentric” Christopher Bailey, owner of Dragon Yachts. Bailey also owned a shipyard and when ship repair work was slow, he put the yard to

14 MYS SUMMER MAGAZINE

work restoring yachts from the early 1900’s including the classic 50 metre Welsh Falcon.

From there Nick would become Captain of Margaux Rose, Maupiti and today the extraordinary 90 metre Nero.

A SUPERYACHT, A ROYAL FAMILY AND A HOT AIR BALLOON Think superyacht toys and you usually picture jet skis and windsurfers. Nick introduced the hot air balloon, the first to fly one off a superyacht. “I’ve always thought owners don’t do enough with their yachts; luckily I’ve mostly sailed for Owners willing to sail where few others dare.”

One of Nick’s guests aboard Welsh Falcon, Colin Prescot, Chief Executive of Flying Pictures, had intro­ duced Nick to hot air balloons. When Nick joined Margaux Rose as Captain in the late 1980’s, he soon realised her foredeck could serve as a launch pad. “I suggested it to my Owner who thought it was a novel idea, so I bought a four-passenger balloon but had to get a license to fly it, another adventure.”

And it turned out to a unique way share the m ­ arvels of the sea with his guests. “The view from a balloon is not that different from that of a helicopter – what makes it so special is the slower pace and the quiet, punctuated only by the intermittent reassuring growl of the burner – a better platform I cannot imagine for viewing your yacht.”

But balloons fly completely at the mercy of the wind; the pilot able to control only the altitude, so b ­ alloon flights are normally in light breezes, drifting at a walking pace over land and certainly not from a yacht at sea. By the time a certain royal family chartered Margaux Rose for Christmas in the ­Bahamas, Nick and his crew had mastered a technique of flying their balloon off the yacht.

A member of this family was partially paralysed young son. Nick thought that drifting above those crystal Bahamian coral seas was just what the boy needed. But because the waters under the planned flight path would be too shallow for Margaux Rose, the procedure would have to be to launch the balloon ashore from the nearest beach and then ­ ­recover it with her tender.

The trip began normally. “The waters below were crystal and the boy seemed enchanted seeing sharks and stingrays swimming just below us, as if he was watching it on the world’s largest TV.” Unfortunately, all good things must end and too soon it was time to return to earth, or more accurately to the tender. But by this time a freshening breeze promised a recovery more exciting that Nick had planned. In fact it would take several ­perilous attempts, with the basket dipping into the sea, ­ ­before the crew managed to manhandle the young passenger and the basket of the still inflated ­balloon

safely into the tender. “I breathed a huge sigh of ­relief and decided it was the last time I would attempt that sort of flight again - but to my surprise, after that rather hair-raising recovery, his Mum took it as her cue to climb into the basket for another flight. I was so amazed by her courage I ­simply could not ­refuse her, so off we went again in the still ­freshening breeze.”

Now the balloon quickly sped off, drifting farther and farther away from the frantically pursing t­enders who were having real difficulty keeping up as they dodged exposed coral heads. Nick realised there would be no second landing in a tender. “I had ­visions of not finding anywhere to land before the next landfall which was Florida, but I noticed a small sandy Island coming up ahead on our flight path.”

Unfortunately the island in question was covered in jagged brush so Nick decided to land just beyond in what looked like a shallow lagoon. “And I knew the freshening breeze would make the landing a bit harder than I would have preferred.”

But it was now or Florida and the balloon’s gas reserves would not last until there, so Nick put the balloon down. “We bounced several times and then came to a sliding stop in ankle-deep water – at least we were safely down and my royal passenger and I none the worse for wear.” Margaux Rose’s inflatable dingy eventually caught up but then getting back to Margaux Rose took several hours as the crew alternately pushed and swam the inflatable with Nick’s intrepid royal passenger and the balloon on board.

“Eventually we made it back under one of those beautiful full moons you see only in the tropics after an adventure the family and crew would never forget.”

THE SPINNER DOLPHINS OF FERNANDO DE NORONHA It’s a rare day at sea when one or two dolphins are not sighted playing at the bow of any sea-going vessel, but Nick and his crew in 47 metre Maupiti were destined to see thousands in just one bay.

On the first leg of what would be an eight year circum­ navigation, they called at the Brazilian ­archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, once a prison colony and now a UNESCO World Heritage as the tropical home to literally thousands of Spinner D ­ olphins. From their special vantage point aboard the yacht anchored in the Atlantic rollers, those aboard Maupiti had a front row seats to an extraordinary daily performance. “Every afternoon these dolphins set off to

16 MYS SUMMER MAGAZINE

sea to feed, returning en masse the next morning at first light; we’d see hundreds of pods, each with 60 to 100 individuals. At first they were quiet, just meandering in the clear waters beneath us, but then suddenly they’d start showing off, erupting from the bay, doing pirouettes and somersaults, making what had been a tranquil tropical scene explode into a nautical circus!”

A CHILEAN ADMIRAL AND WATERFALLS THAT FLOW UPHILL Maupiti’s Owners later joined Nick and his crew in Porto Montt for an adventure through the ­spectacular fiords of Chile bound for Punta Arenas, southern­most city on Earth and gateway to Antarctica. Picturesque as they are, these waters are also busy commercial routes strictly controlled by the Chilean Navy. “Before leaving we were directed to carry two pilots and expected to provide each with a cabin. I had my work cut out convincing the authorities that we did not have room for two pilots and, because we would not be sailing more than 10 hours a day, surely one pilot would suffice.”

In the end though Nick prevailed, promising the most luxurious cabin of any pilot’s career. The lucky pilot happened to be a very recently retired Chilean Navy Admiral and former Master of the sail-training ship Esmerelda. Maupiti’s cruise would be one of his first jobs as pilot. “A delightful man with impeccable manners and encyclopaedic knowledge – he became the magic key to unlock the treasure chest of Chilean Fjords to us.”

Not only did he know the sea and these waters in particular, but the Chilean Navy officials along the way controlling the route knew him very well indeed.

“All our requested routes were instantly approved and while he was aboard we were never refused to sail wherever our whim of adventure took us.”

So Maupiti sailed confidently through fjords with sheer cliffs on either side, narrow passages with fierce tidal currents and beneath 300 metre waterfalls flowing uphill, driven by the cutting winds of the Roaring Forties.

HUMPBACK WHALES GET PERSONAL Crews in explorer yachts adventuring down in the higher latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere are among the elect who actually step ashore in Antarctica, soon discovering that this frigid land is much more than just ice and snow. One of the safest harbours there is also one of the only places in the world where oceangoing vessels can sail directly

into the middle of an active volcano. Deception Island surrounds a 9 kilometre bay called Port Foster, shelter amidst a raging Southern Ocean. Its treeless landscape with blindingly white glaciers atop black volcanic soil is also full of life.

whale bones. “We were horrified to see those bones and realise that these magnificent animals had been speared, their bodies pumped full of air to keep them afloat and then dragged from the sea to be cut up and boiled for their oil.”

This frigid haven is accessible only by navigating a painfully narrow channel, Neptune’s Bellows. A rusting shipwreck on one side reminds mariners of how it can all go horribly wrong. “We entered at 0300 in a flat calm; I was uncomfortable using the normal anchorage in Whalers Bay because you had to anchor close to the beach and it was difficult to tell the sea from the beach - both appeared equally black.”

So Nick decided instead to anchor Maupiti out in the bay in waters made shallow by over what seemed to be an underwater volcanic cone. “My guardian angel was looking after me because by 0800 the wind was howling at 70 knots, lashed with volcanic black ash which would have made that Whalers Bay anchorage untenable.” Maupiti’s anchor began to drag and, to be able to work on her foredeck to weigh anchor, the crew had to don diving masks to protect their eyes as Nick moved to another anchorage at Fumarole Bay. The owners and guests gathered on the bridge, entranced by the tempest outside and fixated on the soaring wind speed reading on the anemometer. “Then, out of this maelstrom of wind, water, snow and volcanic dust, a pod of seals appeared to our stern; they stopped short when they saw us in the middle of what must have been their regular route; rising up out of the water they gave us a close look and then, apparently satisfied that we were friendly, they swam on.”

A GOOD SAMARITAN Unique and luxurious as it may be, a yacht of course is just another vessel at sea and her crew members of that universal band of seafarers who share the common challenge that is the sea. So it is not ­surprising that Nick and his crew would come to the aid of a 52 foot sailboat sailed by a couple on their own somewhat less luxurious circumnavigation who found themselves stranded on a reef in the South Pacific. “Maupiti with Owners aboard was on a night passage passing Suva, Fiji’s capital, when I came on watch and the first officer advised there was an active MAYDAY for a vessel aground 50 ­ ­ nautical miles ahead.”

Soon everyone in Maupiti soon developed close relationships with the local humpback whales as well. As any sailor who has encountered them at sea knows, whales have particularly bad breath, a cross between fish and rotting seaweed. “We were regularly surrounded by them but as huge as they were, we never felt threatened; in fact, we began to believe that our white antifouling paint made these magnificent creatures think we were one of them as they would gently poke their massive heads above the waves, right alongside us almost to get a closer look at us at dinner. Each whale’s breath was distinctive. With this and the markings on their tails we came to know each one almost by name.”

Sadly, there was something else sheltering on Deception Island. “We came upon what looked like a factory or oil refinery.” In the rusting remains of an abandoned whaling station they found heaps of

They set off to help, arriving offshore after midnight and made radio contact. “We thought we could ­assist so with the Owner’s consent we prepared to try at daybreak – we didn’t realise we’d need four attempts.” To begin with, 300 metres of b ­ reaking surf between them and the hapless sailboat meant ­Maupiti’s crew would have their first real-life test of their rocket-propelled line-thrower. But a broken harness ended their first try. Undaunted, ­Maupiti’s crew then floated a heavier line through the surf only to see it part under the strain as well. “At this point we had only one rocket left but now I had learned how much power I could apply before ­breaking the line.”

So Nick again took strain. Two tremendous breakers successively crashed over the boat and the boat slid across the reef, soon floating happily with surprisingly little damage. “This was one of the best days in all of our experiences; the gratification of giving back something to a fellow mariner was truly memorable.”

THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE Nick’s current command, the iconic Nero, is a ­modern yacht created by Neil Taylor in the style and ideals of the great age of steam yachts. Wrapped in this romance, glamour and fine lines with beautiful wood finishes is the latest technology and comfort.

A yacht that truly stands out from the crowd, Nero is available for charter, offering a different e ­ xperience including no doubt some more very interesting tales from the sea.

You charter me cr azy!

A sideways glance at the charter industry seen through the eyes of a charter broker, Fr ances and Michael Howorth report.

When it comes to working late in the evenings, over weekends or even during their own holidays many Charter Brokers go that the extra mile to make charters happen and arrange everything to accord with their client’s wishes. It is not always easy and it is not always fun but it is their job and it is the one that they have built their reputations on so they knuckle down and get it done.

Finding a berth inside St Tropez on a Saturday ­evening in August, how to serve the finest Single Malts to guests who cannot be seen to drink in ­p ublic, (use a tea pot and serve malt in tea cups) are just two stories we have heard but must not reveal where! Here we talk with some of the industry’s top charter brokers and get them to tell us a story or two!

“He had chartered a Perini Navi through us,” says Valeria. “It was for a boys-only week but to avoid his guests knowing too much about the surprise, he suggested to them all that they were going to be hiking for a week in the South of France starting in Villefranche”.

Inevitably they all turned up with sleeping bags and rucksacks which they clearly would not need but one young man, the principle’s nephew a student in Cannes, turned up bringing with him his dog, a Doberman named Lily.

VA: I was on the yacht and thought this group was just simply saying goodbye to the principal charterer.

I had no idea that one would bring a dog and I knew that animals were not allowed on board.

When I explained this to the principle, he said “if my nephew cannot with me then I will cancel the charter.”

I was pondering what to do when the only solution came upon me, I would have to look after Lily for a week! So as the Perini pulled off the dock I ­pushed Lily into my new convertible VW Beatle car. I had no idea what to do with a dog especially one as huge as Lily but she looked pleased at the prospect of a week with me so off we set back to the Fraser Yachts offices.

Not everyone there was delighted but as soon as they heard the story they had to agree with me that no matter what, the guest has to get what they ­asked for in a charter. So for one week Lily and I led a dog’s life of walkies and feedings.

IT’S A DOGS LIFE Valeria Alekhina, a retail broker with Fraser Yachts, once organised a charter for a principle who wanted to surprise friends spread across five generations and aged between 18 and 70.

Lily and I got on just fine and my guests enjoyed their charter. When the yacht docked in Antibes after the charter they were so pleased with me for what I had done that they took me to dinner in Eden Rock Hotel restaurant.

his favourite wine to be collected from his home in Napa, California. The 10,000 mile round trip took just under 24 hours but the client was very pleased with what we had done.

The anniversary complete with perhaps the most expensive orchids in the world went down as the most memorable of all the other events we had planned for the couple in the Caribbean and they remember it to this day.

Timothy Clark, Ocean Independence

From my point of view it was certainly the most extraordinary use of a private plane I know of and I am not sure if the client was ever aware of the logistical and legal nightmares of flying a rare species of plant and un-bonded rare wines from A to B across ­certain International boundaries! But as they say, what they do not know, will not hurt them!

ORCHIDS Timothy Clark, a Senior Charter Broker with Ocean Independence, remembers placing an American couple on a large motor yacht for three weeks in the Caribbean to celebrate their 40th Wedding Anniversary. “I talked at length with the husband about how the day of the anniversary could be made as memorable as possible. During our conversation, it transpired that that he had proposed to her 40 years previously in Hawaii and had presented her with some rare orchids indigenous to the islands”.

TC: So the plan was hatched, I was to organise a bunch of these wonderful rare orchids and get them to him so that he could present them to his wife on the morning of their anniversary over breakfast at a stunning anchorage in the British Virgin Islands.

Things did not go so well after that! After an exhaustive search through every contact I had in the exotic flower industry, it quickly became evident to me that in fact Hawaii was the only place in the world to find these particular flowers. Fearing the worst and with a somewhat nervous disposition, I rang the client to give him the not so great news that we wouldn’t be able to get this particular flower without actually going to Hawaii. To my surprise, he asked me to dispatch his private jet to Hawaii to get the flowers.

So the airplane, with one of the crew from the yacht on board, was dispatched on an interesting route that took the private plane from St Maarten to Florida, across to San Diego and out to Hawaii. While refuelling in San Diego, we arranged for some of

Adelheid Chirco, Ocean Independence

HORSING AROUND Adelheid Chirco, Charter Director at Ocean Independence, recalls, “a couple in love had chartered a large motor yacht for two weeks in Italy and planned to spend the day in Pompei for a visit to the ancient ruins”.

AC: On a country road on their way to the old city they encountered a farmer badly beating his old horse. Upset about what she saw, the lady asked the driver to stop the car. Alighting, she approached the farmer telling him to desist and asking how much money he wanted for the horse. When a fee was agreed, the boyfriend (very much in love) bought it from the farmer! That was the easiest part of the

deal. Imagine my surprise when the Captain of the yacht told me that the number of guests had increased by one horse!

The Captain was wonderful, I don’t know how he managed it, but he found a contact for a veterinarian who at first believed the story was a joke.

Finally the Captain managed to convince him and he agreed to take care of the horse for a couple of days while we organised transportation to a domain near Paris, the horse’s future home. Apparently the transport cost more than the horse!

I wish the story had a happy ending but that was not to be. The couple fell out of love, did not get married and cancelled the honeymoon charter they had booked through me. I never did get further news of the horse – but by now it must be resting in peace.

crew were ready for their first charter only to discover that the yacht did not in fact have a wave runner!

Walking over to the beach I finally found someone who agreed to rent me one for a day. He assured me he would deliver the machine to the yacht in the marina at Atlantis within the hour. I trustingly paid the businessman in cash, said a little prayer, and trekked back over the beach to Atlantis. Within 60 minutes, as promised, my new best friend arrived, all smiles, complete with two life jackets and fuel.

Success! Or so I at least thought!

When I very proudly presented the solution to the captain he said that that was great, but then told me the yacht’s crane was not working and so he could not lift it on board.

I knew the charter was in jeopardy if we did not make sure the guests had the use of the wave runner when they got to their lunchtime anchorage.

The story ended with me wearing a yacht crew uniform and driving the wave runner behind the yacht from ­Atlantis to Rose Island so that the guests were able to enjoy a full day of water sports activities including the use of the wave runner just as they had asked for.

Lara-Jo Houghting, Churchill Yacht Partners

WAVE RUNNER Lara-Jo Houghting, now a Charter Fleet Manager with Churchill Yacht Partners, was in the early days in her career managing a yacht about to charter for the very first time. She says, “I always get a thrill out of a challenge and ultimately the accomplishment that follows completion. The best part is that generally charter guests have no idea what really happens behind the scenes!”

LJH: On this occasion, the charter contract had been written by June Montagne of Yachtzoo one of the big European houses who exhibit each year at Monaco and had specified that the yacht be able to supply a two person wave runner for one of those days on which she was on charter. Nervous about the situation, I flew to the Bahamas at the yacht Owner’s suggestion, to ensure that the yacht and

Robin O’Brien, Fraser Yachts

MOVING MOUNTAINS Sometimes even the simplest of tasks can seem monumental for a charter broker and there are some who have to go to great heights to get it right.

Sometimes quite literally!

Robin O’Brien, a charter broker with Fraser Yachts recalls that a very popular charter yacht with a very full calendar was booked by a client of hers who never did quite get around to putting pen to paper and signing the contract.

Worried that it might all go array, Robin telephoned the principal’s PA to get her to remind him to do so.

The PA, however, replied that her boss was skiing off-piste, staying in a remote cabin, out of mobile phone range and was not answering his emails.

With a charter guest totally oblivious that he might not just lose his deposit but also might, in all possibility, lose the charter as well, fast positive action was called for.

«There was nothing for it,» says Robin but for me to go see him personally and get him to sign the contract myself.

«You know what they say: If Mohamed will not come to the mountain then the mountain must move towards Mohamed!

«So guess who ended up getting cold in borrowed ski jackets and snow goggles being swept up the mountain in great haste just to get a signature for a charter in Antarctica and it was a huge success.»

s­tory about family and how I witnessed a dream come true the day they boarded a charter yacht.

SH: A nice young gentleman contacted me one day and was enthusiastic to book a charter for his ­mother. He explained she had never left her home in the mid-west part of America and worked hard her whole life striving to be the best working mother she could be.

Now all her grown children wanted to give her the trip of a lifetime and a birthday ­present beyond anything she could have dreamed of. A sweet gesture indeed and I was invited to be on board for her arrival on her 60th Birthday.

I hadn’t realised the extent they had gone too to lure their mother to this remote location in the ­C aribbean. She was told in a fake phone call she had “won” a week in a hotel and her flights were paid for. She graciously accepted this offer as she had n ­ ever been to an island or travelled to such an exotic ­destination.

After a day had passed to settle in, she was told a snorkelling excursion was booked and she was escorted by a small dinghy to the larger dive boat anchored offshore. With her snorkel gear in hand the dinghy “Captain” suggested they drive by for a ­closer look at this beautiful mega-yacht nearby.

“Of course!” she exclaimed and as she pulled up to this shiny white yacht, all 5 of her children were standing on the swim platform anxiously waiting to see the look of surprise on her face. The moment she saw her family was a moment I will never forget.

The look of overwhelming joy, ­happiness, and utter shock is beyond words.

She immediately burst into tears as everyone sang ­Happy Birthday. Watching this family cry tears of joy and embrace their mother with the surprise of her lifetime was such an incredibly rewarding experience. I still get goose bumps thinking about it.

Some people might suggest Charter Brokers are merely booking agents for the extremely wealthy.

The young Henry Royce ordered a Decauville in Fr ance in 1903. But this car never made it on the street as the engine didn’t work properly. Instead it inspired him to disassembly the entire car, by separ ating each tiny screw, study everything carefully and create something which today people consider one of the best cars in the world. Sir Henry Royce’s motto, a visionary engineer, is awaiting the visitors at the Rolls Royce headquarters in the British Sussex Downs, placed above the reception desk in bright letters: ‘Take the best that exists and make it better.’

What do Rolls Royce, Airbus Helicopters, ­Lufthansa Technik and the shipyards who build owner’s dreams all have in common, especially when we are focusing around the context of yachting? Well, there are two things that we can think of. First of all, all of the mentioned firms are part of today’s fast moving society where time is money and mobility is trump. Cars, private jets, helicopters and yachts enable the superyacht owners a highly flexible life­

Moreover individualization has become the new standard for most of the luxury firms in order to showcase their abilities and market these skills to prospect clients. Therefore firms such as ­Silver­lining,

Kevin Glancy, Baccarat, Nymphenburg or Tai Ping have enrolled an one of its kind service to their esteemed clients – offering truly bespoke services which at the same time meet the high expectations an owner may have. Almost everything is possible. And if something is not yet developed, the above mentioned firms are all keen to be commissioned to work on an individual project and find the best solution for a potential client.

Let’s briefly analyze the adverb bespoke. It was originally being used in London at Saville Row where the tailor needed to speak with his client about what had to be changed or adjusted in order to finalize the made to measure suit, to bespeak the improvements. Nowadays the vocabulary “bespoke” is being used quite inflationary and also high-fashion brands falsely link this expression to their product.

We are all well aware why they do so. Because bespoke sells. Only the most sophisticated firms can cope to the very high standards and deliver the best of the best, made to measure exactly to the clients’ wish.

Dedicated departments that do nothing else than provide an highly personal service be it to design a new color with gold particles at Rolls Royce, or a ­delicate piece of wood marquetry at Lufthansa Technik to fulfill an owners dream in a jet or have the designer Rita Weber create the Zig Zag heli presented last year during MYS onboard the ­Lürssen build Quattroelle, or bespoke furniture from Silver­ ­ lining, hand-woven rug patterns by Tai Ping

or a noble table setting with carefully shaped table flowers with fine filaments and delicate stems as unique as the natural archetype from N ­ ymphenburg, or the majestic silhouette of a Harcour glass ­design made to measure by Baccarat, or the trusted expertise by Jonathan Fawcett for the softest linen and towels, all hand stitched and with a monogram added. Only the best is on display, none of these firms would ever be satisfied with the second best.

fingertips. Last year the Manchester based firm introduced the exclusive partnership with the Italian fashion house Stefano Ricci, based in ­ Florence, whereas this years’ 20th anniversary at the show will be the highlight of the autumn season. Jason Hales, the sales director of the brand says: “The formality of dining may have diminished, but there is still an appreciation for the heritage and craft of silverware, crystal ware and fine bone china. And what bespoke offers to clients is exclusivity in the form of unique products, wherever they might be used.”

Also Baccarat, the epitome of the French Art de Vivre is celebrating this year. Since 1764 and with the first royal commission for bespoke objects in 1823 when Louis XVIII ordered his glass ware, they have been working for Charles X, Louis-Philippe,

gettable experiences and there is no doubt that they will surprise their discerning clients with the new collection: Beyond Crystal. A collection that has been designed by the Paris born Rémi Tessier, a well known designer in the yachting scene and the price winning Sartori, a 50 metre motoryacht build at the Heesen s­ hipyard in the Netherlands. R ­ ecently he came up with a contemporary bathroom ­faucet in four different ­colors (champagne, red, aqua, blue) and a clear ­version. The style is pure and m ­ odern and with a slight touch of LED light inside the crystal cross handles is quite a statement.

Splendid table settings with opulent baskets, serving platters and magnificent art objects such as the Neptune’s Chariot designed by Dominikus Auliczek in 1770, where the God of the Sea and his beloved Amphitrite, sit in a large Seashell drawn by the seahorse, with Triton on the helm, a table arrangement that is still to be found in the range of the precious porcelain manufacturer. But at Nymphenburg there is a lot of room for bespoke objects, wonderful hand-painted tiles and Bustelli figurines, precious limited edition collections such as the range of modern table pieces with 5 sculptural elements in black matt porcelain by the contemporary artist Joep van Lieshout. Those table wear elements would make for a perfect match with

Therefore the innovative construction was formed from a single lightweight carbon fibre moulding.

But also the Kimono screen at the VIP cabin of the motoryacht Amaryllis is a unique example of art marquetry, comprised of almost 3,100 i­ndividual pieces of veneer in five different color shades of blue, cream and crimson. The artwork is simply beautiful and looks like a wonderful silk kimono, but is made out of Sycamore wood. We learned that experimenting with those colors took the skilled masters almost two years but it was more than ­ ­worth every single moment, because the result is simply stunning. When Mark Boddington set up the company to become the leading furniture makers it was hard in the beginning, but now nearly three decades later, Silverlining is one of the most p ­ rolific, innovative and award-winning furniture brands and for good reason can be found in museums, ­galleries, residences and of course yachts spread all around the globe.

We were presenting traditional companies that have been around for hundreds of years, and ­tradition and heritage somehow makes for a great ­reputation for a bespoke subject, but on the other hand there are firms that are around only for one, two or three decades or even less but have ­achieved something really outstanding, something that nobody else could ever deliver, visions that run outside of any competition. A brand that knows to play with special effects is Tai Ping. We can’t think of another brand that is more experienced to create such colorful and unique masterpieces made out of wool, cashmere, cotton, flax and leather threads, with such a color depth.

At this years’ MYS though they will present the brand new care and maintenance program, especially targeted to yachting crews with a 24/7 help line. We asked Timo Holthoff if it makes sense to establish such a service, and he said that it always makes sense to get help in case of an emergency.

A one-off designed and hand-made carpet by Tai Ping is a piece of art, an asset with all its facets and it really deserves this hotline. What a great idea.

An English Feng Shui Consultant in Monaco, an American Feng Shui Master Pr actitioner in New York City and a highly successful Chinese Venture Capitalist Chairman share some auspiciousness tips with Nick Jeffery.

Conjuring up images of hippies bearing lucky stones and lighting joss sticks, with good fortune plants flanking the entrance doors, the world of Feng Shui has yet to catch on in superyachting. But with charter competition fierce and an eye on the potential of Far Eastern clients ‘Feng Shui-ing’ a superyacht could bring good fortune.

Feng Shui and wind and water are connected so, in theory, according to Monaco resident Feng Shui Consultant Nicky Fraser, yachting provides a fine case study: “A sailing boat is an example of how the invisible energy that the Chinese call CHI is harnessed”. Anybody who has helmed a well-­ balanced sailing boat will agree that a powerful, beautiful energy runs right through mind and body when you get it just right.

There are so many aspects to Feng Shui, including dates of birth of people in the space concerned, for optimum furniture placement and sitting directions, that it can only be used in moderation on yachts – especially since they move to point in all directions of the compass.

Manhattan-based Debra Duneier, creator of EcoChi®, combines classical Feng Shui with green and sustainable living and environmental psychology, which appears to result in a successful blend – ashore at least. An accredited LEED® Green Associate, ­Certified Eco-Designer and Feng Shui Master Practitioner, Duneier was quick to respond when I ­ mentioned Prince Albert II Foundation’s ‘Wood ­Forever Pact’ and its promotion of the use of wood on superyachts from sustainable sources: “Green

FENG SHUI IN A FEW WORDS Feng Shui is a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing the human existence with the surrounding environment. The term “Feng Shui” literally translates as «wind-­ water» in English. It is one of the Five Arts of Chinese Metaphysics, classified as physiognomy (­ observation of appearances through f­ ormulas and calculations).

The Feng Shui practice discusses architecture in metaphoric terms of «invisible forces» that bind the universe, earth, and man together, known as qi/chi/energy.

Historically, Feng Shui was widely used to

vibrant. Positive chi – which Peter Liu oozes – can improve a person’s fortune or good luck. Having explained another principle of Feng Shui, that “positive energy attracts positive energy”, I noticed that a number of successful Monaco residents passing through the lobby, en route to various dos, came over to greet Peter enthusiastically. He went on to explain that Feng Shui (pronounced Fung Shwey) is translated as “the way of the wind and the water” or “the natural forces of the universe – and these natural forces influence everything in the world”, adding, “Monte Carlo has very good Feng Shui and Prince Albert II good chi!” Feng Shui studies the distribution of chi and determines the quality of chi through time, position and location.

A poll of superyacht designers showed little demand or interest in Feng Shui, with just a few exceptions:

orient buildings—often spiritually significant structures such as tombs, but also ­dwellings and other structures—in an auspicious m ­ anner. Depending on the particular style of Feng Shui being used, an auspicious site could be determined by reference to local features such as bodies of water, stars, or a compass.

(Source: Wikipedia).

Bannenberg & Rowell – who were at the handover of a Feadship to her owner in China last year with dragons and drums galore – only recently had their first Feng Shui-influenced request: for the orientation of a desk.

Tony Dixon of Redman Whiteley Dixon says: “Some of the Feng Shui theories are similar to those we employ as designers in the normal course of our ­ work”, adding that, “a few clients like to discuss the elements of Feng Shui and make adjustments to create their own feel of harmony”.

and sustainable choices make for good Feng Shui and a better world. We use wood in our designs from well-managed forests wherever possible. T ­aking care of our natural environment nurtures us – it is the circle of life that the five Feng Shui elements* are based on”.

Miguel Queda of Ciarmoli Queda Studio (CQS), who has also designed a number of stores for top brands, such as Jimmy Choo in China, gives examples on yachts: “the place where you sleep is very important so mattresses made with natural materials are ­specified”, and: “In all projects we pay attention to details such as the absence of mirrors in the bed area as this can affect restful sleep. Beds are never made in metal as this material conducts energy”.

Peter Liu, Chairman of WI Harper Group, top Venture Capitalist and the first Chinese member of the Yacht Club de Monaco, was fortuitously in Monaco when I emailed him and suggested we meet in the lobby of the Hotel de Paris. He offered me the comfortable sofa and I noticed he took a seat facing the entrance door – one of the principles of Feng Shui is that you can see who is entering. Peter started by explaining that the “energy – or chi – that surrounds us comes from the earth”. He explained how the Hotel de ­Paris lobby, with its flowing spaciousness and round table with flowers, has good chi and always feels

Ancient Chinese believed that the date when a roof goes on a building is when it is ‘born’ however, for yachts, it is not the date of superstructure being lowered into place but the official launch date, ­according to Nicky Fraser. “This should be an ­auspicious day in the Chinese calendar with good celestial energy – incidentally the full moon (when the lunatics are out!) is inauspicious”. Dickie Bannenberg notes that keel laying is also considered a key date: “We don’t consult Feng Shui specialists but have clients who do consult for auspicious dates – including when to pay us..!”

Pa Kua chart for an owner of a sailing yacht - using Ming Gua number 3 (Pa Kua based on the real example of a yacht delivered in 1970).

A Ming Gua consultation, by Nicky Fraser, uses calculations to determine a person’s Ming Gua number, taking into account their sex and birth date to chart their 4 Luck Directions, reading portents for the 8 directions and advising on ideal orientations for the person and space.

Nicky Fraser, who is publishing a book about ­Monaco’s own good Feng Shui, did a consultation for an owner of a sailing boat using the Ming Gua School, calculating North as the bow – the ­direction heading. As a boat moves in all directions the Ming Gua School is the only school of Feng Shui that can be utilized. Calculations are used to determine a person’s Ming Gua number taking into account their birth date and sex. Reading the portents one comes up with four auspicious and four inauspi­ cious ­directions – and the centre.

The basic idea is to enhance the auspicious ones and ‘cure’ the inauspicious. The diagram shows S ­ outh, the most auspicious direction, as r­epresenting “fame, success, reputation and the end of the j­ourney” – showing off, stern-to in St Tropez perhaps. Fire is the element here (a light in the cockpit) and it is fed by wood – the teak cockpit sole and wooden helm.

North represents the beginning of the journey and one’s career. Water is the element, seawater ever present here, being fed by metal (the anchor and

32 MYS SUMMER MAGAZINE

chain). The other two auspicious directions are South East, for wealth, blessings and growth – enhanced by a picture of two dolphins – and East, for health, vitality and family – enhanced by a family photo. The centre is where the energies meet and is called the Tai Chi – a potent energy ­directly in the middle of the table for this boat, energizing people playing games, working or eating together.

Inauspicious directions are cured with all sorts of items, including wind chimes, a conch shell filled with sand, metal games, a pair of binoculars (the union of two eyes) or crystals and the one that Nicky Fraser gives most importance to – a statue of Mazu, goddess of the sea.

FENG SHUI SYMBOLS Certain traditional schools of Feng Shui use many symbols for bringing prosperity. Mandarin Ducks stand for love and marriage, the Tortoise symbolizes protection and stability, while Koi Fish stands for abundance.

Good Luck Coins: Gift somebody with three coins tied with red ribbon (for wealth & luck for giver and receiver).

Three-legged Moon Frog: With a coin in its mouth, inside the entrance door (for luck & prosperity, wealth & fortune and a long life).

Dragon Turtle: A golden one in the South-East corner (to make business prosper and improve relationships).

Golden Cat of Abundance and Protection: a twosided cat, one side smiling and holding out left paw, the other side frowning, holding a broom (representing good fortune, to attract money and to sweep away troubles, respectively).

Golden Pigs: a pair of these are a symbol of honesty, initiative and diligence, good when setting up a new business or home (bringing prosperity and happiness).

The Three Star Gods: the most sacred of all Feng Shui deities (Health, Wealth and Longevity).

Bells: hang small bells outside the door, facing north and west (prosperity).

Wealth Bucket: a container filled with coins, placed in the north-west corner, but not displayed. Keep it in a cabinet or drawer.

Indoor plants: place plants in the south-east (wealth).

Fish: three gold fish in a bowl (prosperity).

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, ECOCHI速 SHARES SOME TIPS FROM THE FORM SCHOOL OF FENG SHUI FOR SUPERYACHT DESIGN: Health for an individual is when chi flows freely through the body nourishing every cell. The same is true for a space. Ancient Chinese philosophy teaches us that we have a measure of control over our lives and that by using Feng Shui techniques we can 足balance Chi and maximize good luck.

1. Proper door alignment is critical for good Feng Shui. An oversized door opening into a small space like a bathroom (head) means guests will be in there very often with indigestion or sea-sickness. A remedy would be to hang a mirror or beautiful art on the outside of the door.

2. A yacht is already rich with Water energy so designers should stay away from dark colors like black or navy blue and uneven patterns or shapes. This creates too much water energy, which can result in very uncomfortable journeys. The Water element is deep, dark and still the energy of going within. One can get lost in oneself, overthink, be lethargic and sleep too much, become confused or even depressed.

3. Avoid spiral staircases without risers. This causes chi to escape, acting like a hole in the centre of the ship. A Feng Shui cure for this scenario? Glue 5 lucky Chinese coins under the first and last stair.

4. Position your bed against a solid wall so you can see the door to your room but be sure not to be in line with it. The wall symbolically protects you, your dreams and goals.

The sightline to the door keeps you in control and in the power position.

5. Looking for passion onboard? Red fresh flowers are sure to spice things up! Pink, mauve and peach bring the energy (chi) of romance and love into your bedroom.

Sailing a sweet course Louise Simpson reviews Ducasse Education’s tailor-made culinary progr am for yacht chefs.

It’s 8am as my Mini Cooper Cabrio motors into Cap d’Ail. The harbour is still asleep as I drive to the far side where several of the world’s most i­­mpressive superyachts lie. These majestic white whales dwarf the catamaran minnows on the other side of the jetty. These cruise liner-sized floating empires ­provide gainful employment for crews of up to two dozen full-time staff and a depository for priceless works of art and state-of-the-art technology. Some contain private cinemas, helipads, swimming pools, gyms and even music recording studios. The typical staff-to-guest ratio is about two-to-one.

I step gingerly off the gangway onto the 65-­metre yacht and lodge my shoes into one of the shoe pockets conveniently placed beside me. Guests head right and upstairs into the staterooms, but I dip left and downstairs into the staff quarters in the submarine underbelly where I’ll be spending the day in the yacht’s kitchen.

been squeezed in. This kitchen is considered enormous for a galley kitchen, even though it’s only the size of a compact household kitchen. This goes to show how small most galleys are.

Looking around me, I start to empathize with the constraints of cooking onboard. I reflect upon how single chefs in galleys five times smaller than this are required to cook up breakfast, lunch and ­dinner for numerous guests. Lone chefs have to mirror high culinary standards for guests accustomed to ­ Michelin-starred perfection, but in submarine conditions without the team of sous-chefs or limitless storage of their restaurant-based counterparts.

It’s an enterprise that even the most experienced chef would find challenging.

As I ponder my own culinary inexperience, a pain au chocolat comes my way with the welcome addition of a strong noisette (the French version of a caffè macchiato). Other chefs are beginning to arrive for the course hailing from as far as South Africa and New Zealand. The atmosphere is jovial as our ­trainer chef Emmanuel Lacaille goes through the a ­ genda for the two-day program. We will learn how to ­develop a range of original and balanced puddings

that could be adapted ad hoc as cocktail nibbles, full-plated desserts or buffet and trolley options.

Day One will be spent on preparation and methods, while Day Two will be devoted to ­ assembly and presentation. We finish our coffee and get down to the business of preparing pastry, cream interiors and biscuit bases that will later be turned into multiple different desserts. We work away for several hours before taking a well-earned lunch break. Over lunchtime sandwiches, I ask a French chef on my right why he has decided to come on the course.

“As a yacht chef, the challenges are many and ­varied”, he says. “We are in a completely different culinary environment than in a traditional kitchen.

We’re on a boat that moves. We have storage capacities that are much smaller than in a restaurant. We must constantly renew ourselves, we must constantly look for new ideas. We work all alone. We need to prepare meals everyday for the same people, which means that we need new recipes, new ideas, new techniques.”

The conversation turns to the issue of how to produce restaurant-quality food from galley kitchens.

The chefs are surprisingly open about the c ­ hallenges

«We are in a completely different culinary environment than in a traditional kitchen. We’re on a boat that moves. We have storage capacities that are much smaller than in a restaurant (...).

We work all alone. We need to prepare meals everyday for the same people, which means that we need new recipes, new ideas, new techniques.»

of producing sumptuous breakfasts, lunches and dinners daily to guests that have high expectations.

“It’s hard to compete with the quality produced by a restaurant that has 25 chefs in the kitchen working on each diner’s meal,” says one chef.

Another points out that the owners themselves often provide some respite.

“Luckily for me, my owners don’t want Michelin-starred cuisine every night,” he says. “Last summer, I cooked chicken and chips three times in just one week.”

Meanwhile, two antipodean chefs are busy ­chatting about sous-vide cooking on the other side of the kitchen. Jaded by years of witnessing subtle one-upmanship at culinary events, I’m surprised by the camaraderie amongst the chefs. I find their amiable openness striking.

After lunch, I leave the chefs making raspberry coulis and chocolate-filled cakes with the promise that I’ll return the next day to see the final results. On my way out, I take the chance to meander upstairs into the yachts’ staterooms: all dark wood paneling and rich, rather British-looking upholstery. I find myself bumping into a Manet painting and a gold chess

set on a green-and-white marble checkerboard ­before opening a door to find a walnut-inlaid walkin cupboard for several hundred wine glasses. I step off the yacht blinking into the sunlight.

The next afternoon, I arrive to find the completed desserts in the upstairs dining room bordered by Velazquez still lifes. The table is chock-a-block with sweet confections from small cakes to verrines and tarts.

I ask the chefs what they have learnt from their two-day program. They talk about new recipes and new techniques. They talk about the presentation and preparation of each recipe and about how to transfer a large dessert into a small canapé. As they speak, I hear the same word repeated through their conversation: “alone”. Above and beyond the new recipes and techniques, I realize that Ducasse Education provides these onboard hermits with the chance to meet and exchange ideas with other onboard chefs like themselves. Already for that reason alone, these chefs will go home happy.

Meet YPY Monaco Last May, the Monaco br anch of Young Professionals in Yachting celebr ated its first year of existence. This new Monaco-based yachting actor has the distinction to only be reserved to business professionals under 40 years-old. Here we meet with 5 of its founding board members.

President of YPY

Aqvaluxe yachts, Vice President of YPY

Mooring Spot, Treasurer of YPY

COO of Y.CO, Secretary of YPY

Director of Charter Marketing – Europe, Sponsorship and PR officer of YPY

Hello everyone, could you please present YPY Monaco in a few words?

Lisa Peck: YPY is a not-for-profit organization for the next generation of yachting professionals ­working in land‐based yachting positions that are passionate about what they do and want to learn more about their industry. With the success of the Fort Lauderdale branch launched in 2009, we realised that there was a need for the same support here in Monaco and the response we’ve had has been overwhelming.

What are your goals exactly?

LP: Today’s YPY members will be tomorrow’s decision makers in yachting. Our goal is to give them a stable professional network and a solid ethical approach to business, so that they can take yachting into its next phase. We strive to educate our members about yachting, engage them in ethical business practice and facilitate their professional success. We organize educational and developmental

38 MYS SUMMER MAGAZINE

workshops each month on various topics such as “The role of Media in Yachting”, “an evening with Oceanco” and “Mastering Public Speaking” and in addition to the educational aspect, our meetings serve as a platform for members to engage with others in the industry. It is through these networks that we hope to increase trust and transparency across our industry.

Don’t you think being young and moral is a bit naïve in a yachting business run by high financial issues?

Sacha Williams: Not at all. The majority of our ­industry operates ethically, regardless of age, and the bad habits of a few mavericks should not detract from ­ that. There are plenty of great role models to take the lead from and if newcomers are encouraged to work to high standards from the outset, they will carry that ethos with them for the rest of their careers. And it’s not just about ethics, YPY is breaking down barriers by enabling people to get to know each other outside of the office and improve their relationships with colleagues and competitors alike.

What is the opinion of senior yacht professionals (+40) about YPY? Do you receive any support from them?

Alex Treleani: They have been very supportive; ­several of them have been presenters at our meetings. Norma Trease from Salamanca Group spoke about their new marina and also how to build a career in the industry. Mark Duncan (YPI) gave a fantastic presentation about the evolution of marketing in yachting over the years. Our purpose is to educate and improve ourselves as the younger generation of the industry, meaning the e ­ xperience of senior professionals is invaluable. We want them to be ­involved and though they cannot join as members, those who support our cause can ­become honorary members.

All members shall be between 21 and 40.

What if I am 41 next year? My membership is automatically cancelled?

Portia Hart: No, people can stay on as members for 2 years after they turn 40 and so far we haven’t ­actually had anyone pass the age limit. As the goal of YPY is to help younger people with less expe-

rience, we anticipate that for those over 40, who have a lot of experience and good networks, they might come back to support as presenters and sponsors at our events! Of course, people of any age are welcome to attend most of our events as guests whenever a topic takes their interest.

Are there connections between YPY South Florida and YPY Monaco?

Peter Murray Kerr: Yes, we speak regularly about the events we’re organizing and our members are also allowed to attend each other’s events when they’re in the area. We always organise a net­working breakfast at the major boat shows to meet each other.

Are you planning on opening up any more branches?

LP: Yes, we’re currently working with the Dutch Young Professionals about becoming a part of YPY and we’re also in the process of setting up a London branch too; we actually have some England based members attending the Monaco meetings at the moment!

Conditions to join YPY Monaco: Members must be shore based professionals working in the yachting industry and under the age of 40 before they join.

Useful information about the YPY Monaco monthly meetings: • When: the 2nd Thursday of every month • Where: the Monaco Yacht Club (but may change for more social events) • Annual fee: € 100 (Many companies pay for their staff) • One off attendance non-members fee: € 20 Contacts: info@ypymonaco.com youngprofessionalsinyachting.org

Fifteen days in the tropical forests of Africa Tr avel journal by Philippe Mondielli, Scientific Director of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.

In September 2011, I set off for Cameroon for fifteen days to discuss forest conservation in the country with the new students at the Centre of Social Excellence (CSE). I am also taking advantage of this trip to organise a visit to the primary forests which are currently managed by certified companies with ­Bastien Sachet, Director of the NGO The Forest Trust.

This visit to the managed forests will provide me with the information necessary to support the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation’s awareness campaigns.

Yaoundé Airport: Bastien and I have hardly stepped off the plane when the humid air, spicy smells and warm light of Africa overwhelm us. This continent of

40 MYS SUMMER MAGAZINE

extremes, where wildlife still appears to be preserved, opens its arms to us once again.

We are welcomed by the students who come from Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Gabon and the Central African Republic. ­ They all tell us how pleased they are to be learning sustainable forestry alongside international experts, foresters and anthropologists.

After an hour’s drive from Yaoundé, we leave the asphalt road aboard our four-wheel drive for six hours of slippery wet tracks, where logging trucks transporting huge trunks can suddenly appear or get stuck in the middle of the track. After a bumpy ride

«THE BEST PROTECTION FOR A NATURAL AREA IS TO GIVE IT ECONOMIC VALUE. BY MANAGING A FOREST SUSTAINABLY, WE ARE GIVING IT SUCH VALUE AND PROTECTING IT AT THE SAME TIME»

marked by episodes of skidding and getting stuck in the mud, with the fall of night, we finally arrive exhausted at a bush hotel. Beetles and all kinds of insects await me in my room. I am not really alone, surrounded by this rich and multi-coloured biodiversity. The bed with its mosquito net becomes a refuge for the city dweller that I am. A comparison with the zoo comes to my mind. But it is no longer a wild animal in the cage, but a man who is protecting himself from nature.

The next day, we travel to a sustainably managed forest with which The Forest Trust has been working for several years. A forest whose trees are ­selected for felling according to specific criteria and with respect to the surrounding vegetation. For several years, we have known that placing natural areas in a glass case is unfortunately not effective.

The best protection for a natural area is to give it economic value. By managing a forest sustainably, we are giving it such value and protecting it at the same time. In this forest concession, I take part in a staff t­raining session on reduced impact logging for tropical trees - very much sought after in the

building i­ndustry - provided by a French instructor who maintains and cares for the forests of Versailles in France.

For the concession lumberjacks gathered together today, it is a question of acquiring expertise. For me, it is discovering a respectful relationship on the part of humans in relation to the tree. I learn about the tree and its environment and how to remove it with the minimum impact. An enormous chainsaw ­comes into play, then the motor stops. The giant, still standing, seems to weaken, the breath of the forest suspended in time waiting for the fateful ­moment when it begins to shake then collapse with a thundering noise. It is a world on the ground. A traumatic sight for the naturalist I am but the sacrifice is essential for the survival of this environment.

The conditions in which the felling takes place respect the forest and the people living there. No clear-cutting here; the trees that have reached maturity are referenced, geolocated, described in the smallest detail with the help of the indigenous pygmies. During the identification phase, worship

cleared in its entirety then the remains with no commercial value being burnt. Today all that ­remains is a mud field, animals chased away, ­families ordered to go and live elsewhere; a deathly silence and apocalyptic vision which cannot leave one insensitive.

All around, nature seems to have filled up this space in just a few weeks. Suddenly, a muffled sound in the branches lets us imagine that we have probably ­disturbed an ape. These cut down trees allow the forest to continue to live, the local populations to flourish and entrepreneurs to benefit from this timber with its unique characteristics for ship and urban building.

Heading back to the capital in the gentle light of the end of the day, we pass in front of a clear-cutting of the primary forest exploited for intensive farming. Our driver tells us, with great emotion, about land being bought by foreign industrialists, the forest being

Fifteen days later, I am at the Monaco Yacht Show to defend an initiative: the Wood Forever Pact. This is a programme that encourages yachting professionals to take an interest in the origin of the timber they offer and in so doing to protect the world’s largest forests.

I return from this trip with the unwavering conviction of the value of the Wood Forever Pact. If the world’s most luxurious boats show interest in products derived from these sustainably managed forests and are keen to achieve excellence at ­environmental ­level, ­the entire yachting industry is likely to change and become exemplary with regard to the forests, the

lungs of the Earth, our means of breathing. Aboard a yacht, when I see a magnificent wooden deck I start imagining the story behind it.

If the wood on these boats could speak, what would it tell us? The story of a desolate land or that of a paradise bursting with life where children live side by side with animals in perfect harmony? It is up to us to decide. It is our responsibility.

WOOD FOREVER PACT As part of its actions to fight against deforestation, the Foundation launched the Wood Forever Pact in 2010, to promote the use of wood harvested from sustainably managed forests within the yachting industry. Promoting the use of certified wood is the best way of preventing deforestation, protecting biodiversity and combating poverty in the tropical rainforest regions. For the yachting sector, which strives for excellence and which is already involved in environmental efforts, this is also a way of ensuring that no wood from illegal logging is used.

Summer love stories in Monaco From July 12 to September 7, the exhibition ArtLovers showcases a selection of forty major art works from the Pinault collection at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco.

ArtLovers illustrates the links and relation­ship, visible or secret, with anterior works. The ­exhibition bears witness to the diversity of the Pinault collection in bringing together p ­ aintings, sculptures, installations, videos, and drawings of artists of the generations from the sixties to the present from diverse geographic origins ­(Europe,­America, Asia, Middle East).

Through quotations, allusions, references, parodies, praise, criticism, diversion, remakes, appropriation, reuse etc, ArtLovers explores the extraordinary dynamics of inspiration, of transformation, of the

44 MYS SUMMER MAGAZINE

production of forms and ideas emerging from the diversity of the intertwining relationships between the art works.

For Martin Bethenod, curator of the exhibition, “with ArtLovers we are going to explore all the ways and the modalities that artists use to appropriate the works of other artists, transform them and to make of them in their turn new works of arts. It’s a concept which has always existed: the Renaissance in E ­ urope advocated the reuse of the sculpture of the art of Antiquity. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Picasso

constantly worked and borrowed from ­Velazquez as did Francis Bacon. Manet was a source of inspiration for many artists of the 20th century.”­­ The idea of the intertextuality of art “in the second degree” is thus the recurrent theme in the choice of works presented at Monaco, bringing together some of the most famous pieces of art of the ­collection along with rarer works, including fifteen never before shown in earlier exhibitions.

The exhibition ArtLovers brings together at the same time some of the “icons” of the Pinault c ­ ollection— the most famous works of artists including major ensembles (Maurizio Cattelan, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami and his great polyptych created especially for the Palazzo Grassi….), but also rarer works, some until now never before shown: from Rudolf Stingel to Bertrand Lavier, Jonathan Monk and Sherrie Levine. A third of the artworks exhibited have never been shown in precedent exhibitions of the Pinault collection.

“These lovers of art are the collectors, as is François Pinault, but the artists themselves first of all” adds Martin Bethenod. “The exhibition originated from the idea that artists love art, are nourished by art, appropriate or divert art, transform it and make it live; so, these lovers of art are first of all the artists.

But the lovers are also the collectors! I believe that the dynamism and amplitude of a collection such as this one of François Pinault’s can only function on the ­basis of passion, of the love of works and of artists.”

USEFUL INFORMATION: The exhibition “ArtLovers: Stories of art in the Pinault Collection” is produced by the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, with the support of the Compagnie Monégasque de Banque (CMB) and d’Amico.

DATES: from July 12 to September 7, 2014 HOURS: 10 am – 8 pm (until 10 pm on Thursday) ENTRANCE PRICE: € 6 (pre-sale ticket at grimaldiforum.com until June 30, 2014) or € 10 (full price) LOCATION: Grimaldi Forum Monaco (Espace Ravel), 10, avenue Princesse Grace, 98000 Monaco GRIMALDI FORUM MONACO T. +377 99 99 30 00 www.grimaldiforum.com ticket@grimaldiforum.mc

While the historic port of Monaco has been used to hosting 100 luxury yachts for each edition of the show, the new extension perfectly matches the increasing demand for exhibiting larger yachts in Monaco.

“Last year’s MYS appeared to herald the beginnings of a recovery in the yachting market and it seems today that some yachting statistics are close to pre-crisis figures, in terms of volume, with order books and the demand for finance on the increase” said Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Show, “During the last two to three years, builders have been ­noticing an increasing demand for ­vessels over 100m. From 2014 and the following years, the Monaco Yacht Show will now be able to berth these giants for all to see”.

For all to see… and a few to buy them! This annual, one-of-a-kind event attracts industry leaders but also billionaires from around the world that will be walking the docks to catch up on the latest super­ yacht trends and maybe be tempted to acquire these Jewels of the Seas whilst in the glamorous setting of Monaco.

And even though yacht owners and high-end yachting connoisseurs are already used to attending the show every year, the MYS Organisers aims at ­attracting new visitors that only ask for being super­ yacht lovers. “The Monaco Yacht Show began as a

50 MYS SUMMER MAGAZINE

superyacht broker-oriented show in 1991 and has considerably changed since then, riding the wave of a fantastic market growth” says Gaëlle Tallarida, “the show has thus become a l­egitimate and grand ambassador to promote super­yachting worldwide. For a few months, we have been developing new projects to reach new markets and promote superyachting towards a wealthy clientele that have never really thought about enjoying a yacht but that can really afford one. This year’s a ­dvertising ­ campaign has been more business and lifestyle media­ - oriented.

We also coorganised a VIP event in Shanghai and set up joint actions notably with ­ private clubs of high net-worth members”.

Behind this B2C-oriented repositioning, the MYS brings together all crafts of the industry that benefit from an international promotion. A complete range of the luxury yachting activities is presented by the exhibitors in Monaco: superyacht builders and brokerage houses, yacht designers, tender companies, top-of-the-range nautical suppliers or yachting services. But the MYS also means the presence of luxury brands specializing in high-end services and products like private jets, helicopters, bespoke ­furniture, tableware, decorative accessories as well as contemporary pieces of art and design. For the sixth consecutive year, Ulysse Nardin returns as ­official sponsor of this 2014 MYS, where it will showcase its finest collections of luxury watches.

The Monaco Yacht Show also praises the men that make life on board so enjoyable and unique: the crew members. 2014 will launch the very first MYS C&C Lounge, exclusively dedicated to the captains and crew members that will attend the show. “­Offering a real lounge especially for crews has become essential and natural for us. We wanted to thank them for their key role onboard. The Monaco Yacht Show must be the celebration of the superyachting way of life, whether you are the owner or a crew member” says Gaëlle Tallarida.

And what makes Monaco so special during the MYS are the events held every day. Over one h ­ undred events are organised on board the yachts, at the stands, or in the top hotels of the Principality. ­Awards, business lunches, gala dinners and cocktail parties are some of the many highlights that enable formal and informal networking and often attract those that can afford and do buy superyachts. info@monacoyachtshow.mc www.monacoyachtshow.com

The 2014 MYS br and image: a new visual for a new str ategy Four questions to Gaëlle Tallarida, the mys managing director

For the year 2014, the Organisers of the MYS present a brand new advertising campaign totally different to the previous campaigns. A change that leads to a new direction in the positioning of the MYS image, more centred on the end clientele. As the yacht show is known to be the first superyacht gathering in the world, it has de facto the responsibility to represent and thus promote a whole industry among ship owners and future yacht purchasers.

Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show, replies to our four questions about the new development dynamics that the MYS wants to instil through this graphic chart.

Why a new advertising campaign?

These five last years, the superyacht market showed too high a reliance vis-à-vis the existing clientele. Naturally, its main stakeholders opted ­ for a r­eference event such as the MYS, with much higher expectations: promote the superyachting among a wealthy clientele that is not necessarily acquainted with the pleasure of purchasing a yacht while they can easily afford doing so.

This new advertising campaign is the illustrated rendering of retargeting the marketing strategy of the MYS in order to enter a new niche of international potential wealthy clients and above all, give them the opportunity to find out more about this exclusive art of living.

What is the message to convey?

We want the MYS to become a genuine label in ­superyachting; the ultimate prestige yacht show but also, and more and more, the symbol of a c ­ ertain art of living, «a Yachting way of life»! It is about gathering the main companies or mainly those who eventually lead this sector, i.e. today’s «yachters» and the future ones: the future captains of industry from around here or wealth holders from emerging countries, where the knowledge of the «Yachting way of life» is not yet culturally established.

54 MYS SUMMER MAGAZINE

Why a woman on the imagery?

It is not so much the choice of a woman model that is important but its representation: her sophisticated outfit with its white fabric lifted by the wind, like the sail of a yacht, reminds us of the Haute C ­ outure collections. Each year, the MYS unveils a collection of a hundred superyachts and megayachts, unique as well as exceptional, of which about 40 are a ­worldwide exclusivity.

We have in fact heightened this ultra chic universe with the «House of Yachting» hallmark. Because in these two fields, everything is possible, ­harmonious, luxurious and the best materials are used.

Hence the imagery highlights only the yachts exhibited? Yet, the MYS also means stands with 500 exhibitors.

No, not only. All the professions in relation to super­ yachting are shown in the imagery. The construction of a superyacht involves dozens of fitting companies, suppliers and craftsmen, who work on tailor-made orders, propose upmarket yachting equipments or develop new technological solutions. Each unit is the master work of hundreds of specialised and passionate employees. We listen carefully to the expectations and requests of the market professionals. The MYS has to be a main ambassador and draw with it the whole ­industry to promote with the exclusive clientele.

For 250 years Baccarat has been the symbol of the art de vivre à la Française, an icon of exquisite savoir faire, passion and elegance and has graced the tables and rooms of the most ­ ­exclusives places in the world.

Since the beginning of the XXth century Baccarat has had a strong relationship with the yachting world counting among its clients the Duke of Windsor and Aristotle Onassis. For the Duke’s yacht in 1930 Baccarat created a perfectly shaped glass bearing the seal of the Duke and that of the boat and resting on a square foot that could withstand any sea movement; for the Christina a beautiful tumbler with the enameled Greek flag adorned with the letter omega, the initial of its owner.

Since then and to this day Baccarat savoir faire has constantly enchanted boat owners, with the beauty of its cut and engraved pieces, the elegance of its lines and shapes and the unrivaled light reflections magnified by the sea thus transforming each moment in an unforgettable journey. www.studiobaccarat.com

Founded in 1994 by Gilles Dyan, member of the European Chamber of Expert-Advisors in Fine Art (C.E.C.O.A.), Opera ­ ­Gallery Group, now internationally established with 11 galleries in the world, is one of the rare international art gallery networks with locations on several continents: the USA (New York and Bal Harbour), Europe (Paris, London, Geneva and Monaco), Asia (Singapore, Seoul and Hong Kong) and the Middle East (Dubai).

Since its creation, Opera Gallery Group has always strived to offer its international collectors unique access to a diversity of multicultural artists, from the works of Modern Masters such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Bernard Buffet, Henri Matisse, Lucio Fontana or Andy Warhol, just to name a few, to the most sought-after contemporary artists (Marc Quinn, Yayoi Kusama, Yue Minjun, David Mach, Lita Cabellut, Joe Black, Gérard Rancinan among others). The group also supports local artists including Marcello Lo Giudice and Umberto Mariani, closely following and promoting their works on the global art market.

Welcome to the

MYS C&C LOUNGE The Organisers of the Monaco Yacht Show will be hosting the superyacht captains and crews in an exclusive lounge for the four days of the 2014 show.

Located at a few steps to the show venue, aside the new Monaco Yacht Club, the MYS C&C Lounge will offer services of high quality: animations, relaxation area with massages, a lounge area to meet up with other crew members and chill out: a real oasis of peace and relaxation away from the bustling MYS! According to Gaëlle Tallarida, the MYS Managing Director, “offering a real lounge ­ ­especially for crews has become essential and natural for us. We know a few crew facilities around the show already exist but our main concern was to really welcome those men and women who are the heart and soul of a yacht”.

She also stresses out the importance of the captain and crewmembers on board a yacht: “their role is incommensurate: their relationships with the owner are unique and privileged, based on complete trust. How could it be otherwise with «men» who are entrusted the management of a floating palace that is worth several millions of Euros? The Monaco Yacht Show must be the celebration of the superyachting way of life,

whether you are the owner or a crew member”.

So, from next 24 to 27 September, the C&C Lounge will open its doors to especially welcome the captains and crew members of yachts ­exhibited in the port from 9am to 6pm first, then will extend the invitation to all other captains & crews that can reach the lounge from 2pm.

If life on board is particularly hard during the MYS with everyone on the alert for receiving visits of potential buyers of charterers, each free minute is a life-belt out of the intensity of show: so as to maximize their relaxation onsite whilst standing by their timetable, a pontoon facing the lounge will be set for crews coming by tender or by the MYS shuttle boats. The C&C Lounge’s timetable itself will also depend on the crew’s daily schedule with breakfast until 11 am, a buffet lunch or an open bar from noon.

USEFUL INFORMATION: MYS C&C Lounge Open from September 24 to 27, 2014 Opening hours: 9am – 6pm: free entrance reserved for the MYS superyacht captains and crews 2pm – 6pm: free entrance for any other captains and crew members that visit the show (access exclusively upon presentation of their business cards).

Breakfast (9am-11am), buffet lunch (12pm - 2pm), complimentary drinks (2pm 6pm). Animation, relaxation area, gifts, lounge area, free Wifi connection.

The yacht has unprecedentedly large windows in the hull and a great deal of glass in the s­ uperstructure, which give ­spectacular ­uninterrupted views from the owner’s stateroom. Como comprises two and a half decks – an exception for Feadship in recent times when most projects have had four or five. The wheelhouse is slightly recessed into the main deck structure, re-­emphasising the streamline of the design while creating a gigantic outside deck. This wonder­ ful party area can also be lowered to facilitate a nice breeze or raised to create a giant terrace protected from the elements.

There are a number of new aesthetic-structural features, fruit of the owner’s requests which the shipyard’s design department interpreted perfectly and ­integrated into the yacht: a new side window, a large single panel of glass by the main salon and a more modern, aggressive flybridge. In addition, there is a ‘top’ performance: not only ­dynamism and stability, but also quality, excellence and wellbeing onboard. This yacht is also unique because of the wealth and quantity of the materials onboard: more than 10 kinds of woods, at least 7 different kinds of marble or lots of precious leathers.

The 75 Wallypower integrates design with innovative technology, and combines the successful open-air living 足characteristics of the wallytender, with the hull lines of the 118 wallypower 足resulting fast, 足comfortable, stylish, safe, and seaworthy. She features three different social areas: the forward cockpit and sunbathing pad, the saloon under the superstructure and the aft cockpit and sunbathing pad: the epitome of the Wally inside-outside living concept. All the areas feature large dining tables to comfortably seat over 20 people for formal dining! Two MAN diesel engines generating 3,600 Hp and driving KaMeWa water-jets provide a max speed of over 44 knots. The interceptor system combined with the V hull shape allow for smooth and comfortable navigation at speed, giving exceptional stability with no slamming or pitching.
